Lourinhanosaurus (meaning "Lourinhã (Formation) lizard") is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from Late Jurassic Southwestern Europe. It was a carnosaur which lived in what is now Portugal's region of Estremadura. The type species, L. antunesi, was described by Mateus in 1998, and is based on a partial skeleton.
